Yogesh Kumar Sabharwal
Yogesh Kumar Sabharwal (14 January 1942 – 3 July 2015) was the 36th Chief Justice of India.
Sabharwal worked as an advocate for Indian Railways from 1969 to 1981, as an advocate for Delhi administration from 1973 to 1976–1977, later as Additional Standing Counsel and then as Standing Counsel. He also served as counsel to the Central Government from 1980 to 1986. He represented Delhi in the Bar Council of India from 1969 to 1973.
He became an Additional Judge in the Delhi High Court on 17 November 1986 and a judge soon after.[citation needed]
On 3 February 1999, he was appointed Chief Justice of Bombay High Court. In less than a year, he was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court of India.[citation needed]
Being the senior-most judge of the Supreme Court of India at the time, Sabharwal was appointed the Chief Justice of India to succeed Justice R.C. Lahoti who was retiring on 31 October 2005. He was sworn in as the Chief Justice by the President of India, A P J Abdul Kalam on 1 November 2005 for a period of about 14 months as he would turn 65, the retirement age for Chief Justices, on 14 January 2007.[citation needed]
As a judge of the Supreme Court, he delivered several important judgements dealing with constitutional matters.
Over the course of his Supreme Court tenure, Sabharwal authored 175 judgments and sat on 630 benches.
During the 2006 Delhi sealing drive, the Supreme Court under Sabharwal demonstrated extraordinary zeal in demolishing a large number of commercial properties which were illegally running in residential areas. There were very extensive protests every day, and considerable political pressure, due to which demolitions would often be hindered. The court monitored events and regularly reprimanded the Municipal Corporation of Delhi for its tardy progress. As a consequence of the extensive bulldozing of buildings, legal commercial properties, as in the new shopping malls, rose dramatically in price. Particularly, luxury store owners and other upscale businesses were very keen to get into the limited mall floor space.[citation needed]
